I’m on day 17 of my 20 day reset and all I want is some pasta, bread and cheese 😛 In the meantime, I made this super garlicky spaghetti squash. Honestly – it was SO delicious, and I almost (almost…) forgot I wasn’t eating pasta. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the squash in a … More Garlicky Spaghetti Squash

I’m a very firm believer that ice cream is a year round treat. Since I have yet to share a homemade ice cream with you guys I thought today, on probably the last 75+ degree day in the Northeast this year, was the perfect time.

One of my favorite bloggers, Joy, recently posted that she was going to take part in a body ‘reset’. Basically, followers spend 20 days with no dairy, no gluten and no sugar. I’ve been a little excessive lately, since I’ve been traveling a lot to NYC for work (and there’s literally no bad food in NYC), … More Almond Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates

I found out recently that my very favorite restaurant in Salem is closing. They are known for their great wine list, superb homemade pasta, and some of the best seafood I’ve ever had.

With the leftover carrots, I decided I’d give … More Spicy Maple Roasted Carrots

After unintentionally taking a break from blogging for most of the summer, I’m back and ready to share more tasty and easy recipes with you guys! Since last weekend marked the official start of football (and more importantly football Sunday fundays) I wanted to share one of my very favorite game day dishes. Andrew and … More Slow Cooker Beef Brisket

what i'm making

about me

I grew up in Rochester, NY and am making Salem, MA my home.
I'm a home cook, yoga novice, and lover of all things dog (especially mine, Baxter). I work as a digital strategy consultant at IBM iX. I'm based out of Cambridge, MA, but travel all over for work. One of the best perks of my jobs is scoping out the food scene in tons of cities around the world!
I think all the best foods have elements of crunch, salt and sweetness, and I always save the best bite for last.
